The following proctored exam rules are the basic rules for “closed book” exams.

Note

Some proctored exams have different or additional rules. For example, some
proctored exams allow you to use reference material or a calculator. Any
additional rules are visible along with the exam instructions before you
start the exam.

The computer you are using to take the exam must not have more than one
display or monitor. For example, if you usually use a laptop with a monitor
connected, disconnect your monitor and use only the laptop screen.

You must close all other programs or windows on your testing computer before
you begin the exam.

You must not use the following tools.

Programs such as Excel, Word, or PowerPoint.

Communication programs such as Skype.

Any website page other than the exam window in your course, including
other content on edX.org.

If you have a disability and need additional time or specific accommodations to
take the exam, consult your organization’s disability resources or the course
team before you make any choices on the exam page. The course team must approve
your request and make any adjustments before you start your exam.
